Tea for two 两个人一起喝茶

两个人一起喝茶

A dialogue between Susan and Peter. Susan invites Peter in for tea, but he must water the garden first because it's terribly dry. After a few minutes, Peter comes in and Susan notices it's raining, which means he doesn't need to water the garden. Peter says it's a pleasant surprise because now he can have tea instead. The lesson introduces 'have to' and 'had to', and the words water, terribly, dry, nuisance, mean and surprise.

Have you finished already?

Look out of the window.

SUSAN: It's raining!
That means you don't need to water the garden.
PETER: That was a pleasant surprise.
It means I can have tea, instead.

苏珊:彼得,你现在能进来喝茶吗?
彼得:还不能。我得先给花园浇水。

苏珊:你一定得现在浇吗?

苏珊:真讨厌!
彼得:去年夏天也是干得很。你不记得了吗?我不得不每天浇水。
苏珊:好吧,我一个人喝茶了。
